While the issue is actively happening record the following.
1) fuel pressure: Still unknown, (no fuel pressure tester yet)
2) tps %: What is TPS?
3) map pressure
4) timing advance degree: 14*
5) coolant temp: 204.8*
6) intake temp: 132.8*
7) fuel system status: fuel flow: 9.1 cc/min;
Vacuum 12*
Are their any codes pending or active? P0171

Map pressure is the amount of pressure on the intake side of the engine. Even in vacuume the map sensor will report absolute pressure.
For the fuel system I'm looking for open or closed
include your short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim.

0.4% on the TPS is not correct. Torque will show that the throttle % at idle is like 18 and only goes up to like 85 or so. It's basing it on a percentage of 5 volts DC. If your ECU is only seeing 0.4% of 5v, that means you have an open circuit on the TPS. Aftermarket TPS are known to be problematic. You can check the TPS with a multimeter to watch it change as it sweeps from closed to open. If it tests bad, grab another one. Mopar TPS are the only ones that I've seen that last.
Unfortunately fuel trim banks are not available.
Also, I sprayed vacuum lines/connectors and not discernable difference...
Key on, engine off: Throttle: 0.4%, no WOT available.
